Why not just use an $89 form website?
You can. Online form sites will sell you a power of attorney for less. Read their footer first: every one of them says they are not a law firm and cannot give legal advice.
Adulting Essentials costs $195 and is prepared by Luke Reynoso, J.D., LL.M. (Taxation), an Arizona attorney who has done nothing but trusts and estates since 2007.
The difference isn't the paper. It's who answers the questions, who is responsible if something is wrong, and who your student calls when a hospital or bank hesitates.
